Hi! Ive got a netgear wifi router... have had it for a couple years
now. In fact ive got two.. one at work running through a DSL connection
with no probs, and my home wifi router has worked fine on my old cable
provider (charter communications) for the last few years. Ive just
moved and signed up to Adelphia and my netgear wifi doesnt wanna talk
to the Adelphia modem. What gives? Is there any tricks I can do? Ive
tried inputing my new adelphia username/password into my wifi router,
that didnt work. I tried doing no user/pass but cloning the MAC address
but that didnt work either. Adelphias tech support didnt seem to want
to help me, claiming that they only know about their brands of modems.
Fair enough I guess. But they should offer some basic setup techniques
since wifi is commonplace now. Ive never had a setup prob until now. I
can run my new internet connection direct via ethernet, but not using
my wifi.

Also, I have a Vonage router that wont connect to Adelphia either. Ive
tried them seperate, together, etc, etc.

PLEASE help if anyone has any good tips! Thanks.

Many cable modems use DHCP to make the connection. Is you router set up
that way?

Many cable modes are set by the cable company to only talk to the device
they first see. You can turn it off for a few minutes to clear that setting.

I did reset the router to configure it from scratch. Didnt seem to
help.

I also checked and its set for DHCP. Adelphia told me I need DHCP.
Well, OK. Its set, but still wont work. I read on some forums last
night that I need to clone the mAC address since Adelphia verifies the
MAC address and doesnt use the Adelphia login/password. Tried all that.
Nothing seems to work.

REBOOT THE MODEM! MODEM, NOT Router!

did you set the router back to factory defaults?

I suspect you are still setup for ppoe, and have some other config in there
that is for DSL and not for Cable.
